Review 67: The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare (G.K. Chesterton)

This is the story of ultimate paradox: how our most feared enemy proves to be our best friend. Much of this story is just 'fun' as Chesterton himself commented. Thus, this is worth reading for the pure enjoyment of it. This story has a breathless pace and you are left spinning in the end: what does this all mean? The poem in the introduction is worth the price of the book: it is a poem affirming life with the certainty of joy.
